Area of Focus Highlight: Economic and Community Develop Nearly 1.4 billion employed people live on less than $1.25 a day. Our members promote economic and community development and reduce poverty in underserved communities through training, well-paying jobs, and access to financial management institutions. Projects range from providing people with equipment to vocational training. Our members work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.

Cuba and Rotary International Currently, there are no Rotary clubs in Cuba. Given the opening of embassies in Cuba and the United States, there has been increased interest in Rotary’s return to Cuba. Individuals interested in Cuba extension should contact RI staff liaisons: David Peterson ([email protected]) and Gregory Franks ([email protected]). No one should attempt to organize a Rotary club in Cuba without first obtaining authorization from the RI Board of Directors.

Proposed Legislation—COL 2016

The Council on Legislation is Rotary International’s legislative body which meets every three years to consider proposals on important policy items, like changes to RI’s constitutional documents. The next COL meeting is scheduled for April 2016 in Chicago. You can find more information about the COL on Rotary.org, including the proposed legislation. Be sure to work with the COL representative from your district to discuss your district’s opinion on these items.

Club Training Meetings: PETS/District Assembly Have you started planning your PETS and District training assembly? Bylaws indicate PETS meetings should be held in February or March and District training assembly should be held between March and May.

Assistant Governor Training As the district’s future leader, training your assistant governors (AG) is crucial. AGs are an important link in the success between you and your clubs. Directing your AGs now to their own resource page on rotary.org, will give them a head start on their training for the important job ahead.

October 2015 Newsletter

Did You Know CDS—The Americas is on Facebook. Follow or like the page for more updates and information from your CDS, Americas team.

Clubs and Districts to File Annual Information Return

The IRS requires that all clubs/districts in the U.S. and territories file an annual information return. If your club/district’s tax year follows the Rotary year, the deadline to file is 15 November. More information available on irs.gov and in our FAQ.

Presidential Citation: Online Tool Adoption

This year’s Presidential Citation is somewhat different from previous years. President Ravi has selected goals that are measurable and, if achieved, make Rotary stronger. This month, ask your club presidents to encourage their members to register online with My Rotary. President Ravi is challenging each club to sign up at least 50% of their members. Registration is easy and if your clubs need assistance, contact your CDS team.

Review the progress of clubs in your district by downloading the Members in a Club and Presidential Citation reports on My Rotary – Manage – Club & District Administration – Reports.

TellYourStoryMy name is Angelica Blakely and I will be at service as Public Image team in our District. As part of Rotary’s new strategy we are trying to strengthen our image so that everyone will understand what Rotary stands for, how we’re different, and why it matters.I encourage all Public Image Chairs for each club to download from Rotary Brand Center the Messaging Guidelines Brochure, subtitled The Voice, and Visual Rotary Guidelines, to share with club members. In this brochure you will find powerful tools to do “What we need to do”, which is to tell our great story in a way that ensures our actions and supports our words. And if your club doesn’t have Public Image Chairs please ask your president to appoint someone.

One of the best ways to bring our story to life is to simply tell about it. With this in mind we will have a space in the District newsletter called “Telling You Story”. It will be a forum for individuals to tell about the day they became a true Rotarian. Submissions will need to be no more than 400 words and, if possible, should include the author’s picture. Stories like these can inspire others and help to connect people to one another.Please, send to me at: [email protected]

dear rotarian,It is very great speaking to you!

You probably have noticed that every month, you would get an e-mail of the District

Quest Magazine. Quest is our monthly district newsletter transformed into a maga-

zine to get all the district information out to Rotarians in a more modern, efficient,

and exciting way!

Through this letter, I want to encourage you to send me information, flyers, and

photos of the events that your club holds so that we can promote it throughout the

whole district. That way, you will be letting other clubs know what yours is up to and encourage them to do

the same!

We wanted to show support for our entire district, so we created a print version of the magazine. This was

dream come true for us! It was an absolute success, and it was distributed to everyone at the District 6930

Conference!

Now, we want to be able to continue printing every month and send out the magazine to all the clubs in our

district so that each member can be handed a copy. This will be a fast, easy, and pleasant way for all mem-

bers in our district to be up to date on the happenings of every club.

This is also a great way to recruit future Rotarians. Distributing these magazines throughout our workplaces,

we can let others in our community learn what being a Rotarian is all about. They will see the wonderful ser-

vices we do for our communities, along with the fun time we have while doing it! I encourage all your mem-

bers to use this magazine as a recruitment tool for your clubs.

So that we can keep Quest printing every month, I ask you to share this letter with each member of your club

and incentivize them to buy advertisement space for their businesses. With the support of your members, we

will be able to cover the cost of printing and stay on track with our goal of having a print version of Quest. We

hope that all Rotarians show their support and promote their business through our magazine.

For more information, here is the contact who is responsible for handling the advertising of the magazine:
